Question

Luis has been trying to build his strength through bench pressing. Every Saturday he goes to the club and

does 3 sets of 25 repetitions. When needed, he increases the load he presses. Luis has noticed two problems:
His upper body strength is not increasing as quickly as he thinks it should, and he doesn't seem to be building
lower body strength at all. How would you change Luis workout?

Answer 1

Increase to 10 repetitions

Answer 2

If you exercise one part of your body too much, it will be overworked, and in some cases deteriorate in strength. You should tell Luis that he should alternate between upper and lower, and also to increase the weight of his bench press bar.
